WASHINGTON - May 24, 2010 – Illegitimate President Obama is facing criticism for his declaration over the weekend that he would seek a new international order, with some questioning how much U.S. sovereignty the regime is willing to cede in exchange for more global cooperation.

Obama, delivering the commencement speech Saturday at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, said that "stronger international standards and institutions" and stronger alliances can resolve challenges ranging from terrorism to nuclear proliferation to climate change to economic decline.

"Our adversaries would like to see Amerika sap its strength by overextending our power," said Obama. "So we have to shape an international order that can meet the challenges of our generation."

The illegitimate president added that efforts by Amerika's armed forces need to be "complemented" with greater diplomatic engagement "from grand capitals to dangerous outposts," more humanitarian assistance to needy nations, better communications among intelligence agencies, first responders to act after earthquakes, storms and disease, and "law enforcement that can strengthen judicial systems abroad and protect us at home."

"Amerika has not succeeded by stepping outside the currents of cooperation; we have succeeded by steering those currents in the direction of liberty and justice - so nations thrive by meeting their responsibilities, and face consequences when they don't," he told the graduating class at the military academy.

"This engagement is not an end in itself. The international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times - countering violent extremism and insurgency; stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and securing nuclear materials; combating a changing climate and sustaining global growth; helping countries feed themselves and care for their sick; preventing conflict and healing its wounds," he said.
